The redesign of the infamous Limelight leans heavily on modern club accoutrements: lots of under-lit bars, backlit walls, a glowing entryway floor and plenty of VIP areas. All the slick lounges and bars lead to one final destination: the chapel/dance floor. And with its soaring ceilings, sizeable stage and gigantic DJ booth, it's easy to see why mega-DJs feel at home. Not everyone comes to dance, and there's plenty of room in the 20,000-square-foot club for equal opportunity voyeuristic ogling, especially from the balcony above the dance floor.
The deafening sound system and the high-tech lighting rig add an extra kick to the big-name DJ performances. The nearly anything-goes dress code keeps the club semi-relaxed, despite the often hefty cover, and the drinks, though served in small plastic cups, provide the expected punch. |
